Idea Category: Education

NewDEAL Leader Columbus Councilmember Elizabeth Brown and her colleagues recently rolled out the city's new "Earn to Learn" program to support higher education access for lower-income students. Recent graduates in the program can receive an 8-to-1 match on college savings up to $500, for a total of $4,500, which could pay for one year's tuition at a local university.
